Wish you all a Very Happy Dussehra!Dussehra being the festival of Good destroying the Evil,I am glad to say that it has certainly had a positive effect on my health.I am now feeling much better.Well friends,I would like to invite you all to partake of the Naivedyam(offering to the Mother Goddess)which I prepared today.It consists of Garelu(Deep fried lentil patties),Pongali(sweet pudding made of rice and yellow mung lentils with milk,ghee and jaggery) and Daddojanam(Curd rice,seasoned with mustard,ginger,asafoetida,salt,red chillies, and fresh chopped coriander.Enjoy!

For best results in Baking,exact measuring cups and spoons or metric measures should be used.
For the other recipes,traditional indian cooking has always been "a little of this,a pinch of that".You can increase or reduce the amount of spices depending on how much spices your tongue can tolerate.
